6 Signs You May be too Hard on Yourself

Are you too hard on yourself? Are you being too self-critical? If so, how do you stop being hard on yourself? It's good to become more aware of ourselves. What do you do when there’s poison inside of you? You remove it. But it’s not so easy as pushing an eject button and having it pop out, especially if the toxic is disguised as bad habits or unhealthy self-perceptions. A thought isn’t so easily discarded. But with enough practice, they can be questioned and better managed each time we aren’t so kind to ourselves. Here are 6 signs you may be too hard on yourself.

There is an African Proverb that reads:

"If there is no enemy within
the enemy outside will do you no harm"

To those who are struggling with an internal battle, I hope one day you'll be able to overcome it.
I know it's hard but We can do this! :)
